This method definitely works. It's my go-to every time. Occasionally I'll replace some of the water with chicken or beef broth if I have one already opened. That's an excellent way to boost the flavor of the brown rice.

I've always had a hard time making brown rice for some reason, but this is my new go-to recipe for it! It's so easy and it really does come out perfect each time.
